Just straight up copying people is not boss. That’s all there is to it

When I saw this I thought it was an American Apparel ad. Then there’s that blue square at the bottom and I couldn’t believe that it’s just a complete rip off. Now I’m not saying that when I see helvetica bold on something I think first of american apparel, but fuck. The Gap is advertising the same thing (clothes) and the only difference is that there’s not some sheila in the ad with her knees in two different time zones

So you could make a logo and submit it to istockphoto and if it get’s accepted, then you’ll receive a sweet sweet five dollars. That’s like a hot meal! The real problem, I fear, will be a wave of five dollar designs around. There’s enough terrible design around as it is, but now you got these fuckers throwing a fat discount on that shit.

You got these kids making logos for nobody. they’re not for a specific company. They’re for the shelf. I anticipate a heap of logos popping up that are really watered down and are meaningless at best. Since when was there a great design to come into fruition with zero client to designer banter? Who knows though, perhaps I’ll be proven wrong.
